Yes, I've fatten up eating those crabs.
(Kidding!

I've gotten more interested since I last spotted the freshwater crabs. It occured to me that they're not as uncommon as I had thought, just a matter of how to look for it. I decided to revisit several of the streams I came across before to check for crabs. Indeed on this trip, I discovered yet another stream that inhabits these freshwater crabs. I've observed about 6-7 crabs in that stream alone, but they were all small in size and most of them had lost limbs. (Probably due to frequent territorial fights in the limited space)
I will check out other potential streams too on my future trips there, it's amazing how we never notice something obvious when not looking for it.
A termite trail along the usual route
Checking out the first stream where I saw the freshwater crab, spotted one that is a little larger than the previous one.
Spotted a Copper-cheeked Frog on a stream where I didn't find any crabs
On the furthest stream I've checked that day, which I surprisingly spotted more crabs.
A varied species of butterflies gathered near the water.
A green crested lizard
First time encounter with a bright red damselfly, pretty isn't it?
I think it might be a black snakehead.
